Hi!

I installed your phpbb3 seo premod. After which I installed a mod from Lastest Posts. Installation went find and the mod worked perfectly. But the link it directs to is not working. Please check my forum index page. I'm sorry but still I can't post my website link here until and unless search engine spiders it. I hope you understand. Dcz, it is the same website which you checked earlier.

Please look for "Latest posts (View active topics)" just before forum starts. Please let me know if it can be solved?

Well links looks pretty rewritten if we are still talking of the same forum.

The mods is outputting links to last post and not last topic page, but, the post urls are rewritten.

++

hmm..how can I get this resolved? any help?

By the way, could you please post in the proper forum next time.

Topic moved to the phpBB SEO premod forum.

What do you want to get resolved ? You would like to use topic urls instead ?

It's not an SEO threat to keep postxx.html links if you disallow them by robots.txt and/or redirect them with the zero duplicate.

Thanks.

How can I disallow them in robots.txt since every post has different urls and how should I redirect it by .htaccess. Currently when I click on them they point to page 404 not found. Is there some redirection code that I can keep in htaccess to make it work???

In zero duplicate, I've these settings currently:

Activate the Zero duplictate: Yes
Strict Mode: Yes
Posts Redirections: All
(but still when I click on the link it directs me to an error 404 page not found)

I even checked by changing strict mode to No. Post redirections: off but still it didn't worked.

Well! this question can be some kind of hectic but can be useful to me and others who adds different other mods to their forum.

Sorry for posting at the wrong thread.

Very simple, read the install and/or the release thread.

For the 404, there is just a useless & in the original link, which troubles us when rewriting the URL, since it's added outside of the append_sid() function.

So in index.php, just replace :

Code: Select all

            'U_POST' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", (($latest_post['forum_id']) ? 'f=' . $latest_post['forum_id'] . '&' : '') . 't=' . $latest_post['topic_id'] . '&p=' . $latest_post['post_id']) . '&#p' . $latest_post['post_id'],

With :

Code: Select all

            'U_POST' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", (($latest_post['forum_id']) ? 'f=' . $latest_post['forum_id'] . '&' : '') . 't=' . $latest_post['topic_id'] . '&p=' . $latest_post['post_id']) . '#p' . $latest_post['post_id'],

Thanks it worked. Now it directs to particular thread.

Very simple, read the install and/or the release thread.

I read this
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/phpbb-s ... t1549.html and phpBB3-SEO-Premod_V_3.0.0.txt but couldn't figure it out how to disallow postxx.html links. Since each post has different url like: post01.html, post02.html, post03.html, post04.html .................... so I can't just keep the each url in robots.txt with disallow. I'm searching the forum if in case I find some solution.

Sorry, it's only in the mod rewrite's release thread, which you should of course read as well as all the included mod release thread, can be useful.

Anyway, it's still said in the premod install :

__________________
NOTE: robots.txt :
__________________

You will find a sample robots.txt file in the contrib/ folder of this package.
The robots.txt file must be uploaded in your domain's root folder (can be different from the phpBB one).
You must obviously replace phpbb/ with your real phpBB installation folder (or with nothing if it's installed in the domain's root).

The provided robots.txt is :

Code: Select all

User-agent: *
Disallow: /phpbb/viewtopic.php
Disallow: /phpbb/viewforum.php
Disallow: /phpbb/index.php?
Disallow: /phpbb/posting.php
Disallow: /phpbb/search.php?
Disallow: /phpbb/ucp.php
Disallow: /phpbb/mcp.php
Disallow: /phpbb/post
Disallow: /phpbb/member
Disallow: /phpbb/memberlist.php
Disallow: /phpbb/faq.php

And

Code: Select all

Disallow: /phpbb/post

is the line that disallows post urls.

Well! I also found that at http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advance ... t1219.html Thanks but in this case I've to be careful not to start a forum category with name "post". Is that so?

Well yes. Few titles can be concerned though.

++

Well! I have one little question, currently .

The English speaking demo forum
This is the English speaking demo forum for the phpBB SEO premod.
Subforum:

How did you kept a link at phpBB SEO premod in your demo forum at http://phpbb3.phpbb-seo.net/

It's far from the initial topic.

Anyway, I just used BBcode in the forum description if this what you are talking about.
